Isaiah
"It shall not return to Me void"
Text: Isaiah 55:11
THE WORD OF THE LORD
There is a huge difference between the Word of God and the word of Man. Man may come up with beautiful words but they lack power. When God speaks, His word resonates with power and authority!
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
